F-find young women, invite them over.

Big Fish is ruined by Billy Crudup’s character. You hate your father because he exaggerates his stories? Boo-effing-hoo. (But yeah, the flashbacks with Ewan McGregor are pretty good.)

I think Sleepy Hollow qualifies, and certainly a number of his films are horror-adjacent and include tropes and imagery usually associated with the genre.

They’re tedious, not kooky
Mediocrity’s not spooky
It left me feeling poopy

No Nick Cave at all *shrug*

I’m bit of a Halloween music dork; here’s some faves:

No “Curse of Millhaven”?  That ain’t right.

Get Out Of My House is terrifying.

Kate Bush - Hammer Horror

Consider adding:

Nancy Thompson ranks #1 in my books because

Barbara Steele from Black Sunday, The Pit and Pendulum, Shivers, and many others is the biggest snub. I would have also included Madeline Smith from The Vampire Lovers and numerous other Hammer horror movies

Even if this is somewhat different from my own ranking, I’m glad this list is made by someone who gets these movies, or who can appreciate what they’re doing. Also, yes. 4 is 100% the best sequel. Just damn good direction.

H20 this low is insane. you’re gonna put it below Kills, one of the worst movies anyone’s seen in the past few years?

Pleasantly surprised by this list, as the top 4 is actually my top 4, in order. I did not think 4 got much love, but I thought it was by far the most enjoyable of the sequels. 3 was also surprisingly good but other than slapping Halloween on the front, it was just so different from the other ones that it seems like it…

My main reason to click through this was to see where Halloween III landed, glad that it landed pretty high as I do agree the premise is so nuts that it works.

clearly metaphorical

Is this really an article about an interview with this site that was posted yesterday?

The Jaunt is a great short story. There’s barely enough for a half hour Twilight Zone episode. But then, they made two movies out of The Lawnmower Man.

I thought part of the problem with At the Mountains of Madness is that Prometheus came out and GDT felt the plot was too similar.

They’ve got Parasite on there now, which is more of a heist than a horror film.
